Woman being beaten in restaurant...what would you do? (Merged)

This is a discussion on Woman being beaten in restaurant...what would you do? (Merged) within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Where was the 911 call, couldn't make that call and take the video at the same time! Did they catch the three females responsible for ...

This video was enraging. If I had seen this I would have put myself in potential danger to stop the attack. I would keep the two attackers off of the woman while calling the police. If a man tried to step in, I would immediately draw. If people persisted to attack me or the victim after I had draw, I would shoot them. If someone else drew a weapon and started firing, well then i guess I'm SOL.

"The report classifies the attack as a "second degree assault" -- one of the suspects said that the fight was "with a woman over using a bathroom" You almost kill a woman over using the bathroom? and instead of giving her some help you just keep the camera going and warn the POS the police are coming. where is the 50,000 volt Cattle Prod when you need one ?

My Uncle (in law?) sent me this in an e-mail reminding me of why we carry.

That's not why I carry. That's why tomorrow morning I'll be in my martial arts class, training with my fellow students. A situation like this would be trivially easy to bring to a stop without use of a firearm.

I would stop it. I would hope that OC would not stop them and they would attack me. I would also expect the possibility of others including the employees trying to intervene on their (the attackers) behalf. I would have something for them also.

All I can say is ,
to the defense of the staff, they most likely knew the knuckledraggers responsible for the beating and the chump videoing it, and out of possible fear of retribution is maybe the reason they were hesitant to intervene.

This from the first report;

At the end, the white victim is beaten until she has a seizure, at which point the camera operator warns the female attackers to flee, because the police are on the way. Note: he makes sure to repeatedly tell the criminal attackers to flee, instead of keeping them there for the police to apprehend.

AND from the update;

The victim suffered cuts to her mouth and face, and a police report said she was in "fair" condition

The report classifies the attack as a "second degree assault" -- one of the suspects said that the fight was "with a woman over using a bathroom."

Throughout the attack, a man is filming and does not intervene. But when the victim appears to go into a seizure, he yells, "She having a seizure, yo. … Police on their way. Y'all better get out of here."

I agree with Luis50,,OC spray, then tell the videographer to get the hell out before he gets his.

Gas'em!!!!

Hopefully, these animals will get their just rewards very swiftly

I know some people in Baltimore and they say it's a very rough area. I asked them about this video and they said stuff like that isn't all that uncommon. I think McDonald's needs to have all of their employees removed. It shows you that if you're in trouble, (even with people and witnesses around who could help) you're still going to have to defend yourself, and not expect people to come over and help you out. This is a situation where I like the use of a CCW. If the victim had maybe it could've helped. Or if a bystander had one, they could've held the BGs at gunpoint until the police and ambulance arrived.
